Most organisations deploy AI systems without a clear legal picture: Is this a high-risk AI system? Does it process personal data? Is a data protection impact assessment required, a fundamental rights impact assessment, or both?

These are not hypothetical questions – they are the ones regulators will ask. Our assessment gives you a concise, transparent evaluation of your existing or planned AI systems against both legal frameworks, so you have the answers ready.

Three Models – Choose What Works for You

Whether you already have a data protection mandate with us, need a one-off assessment, or only want the AI Act dimension reviewed: we offer the assessment in three models

Model 1

One-Off Project

A self-contained assessment of your currently deployed AI systems, with a clear start and end point.

  • Inventory of AI systems
  • Classification under the AI Act (Art. 5, 6, Annex III)
  • Data protection assessment under the GDPR
  • Final report with recommendations for action

Model 2

Extension of an Existing DPO Mandat

Do you already have an external Data Protection Officer with us? We integrate the AI assessment directly into your existing mandate.

  • Use of the existing records of processing activities
  • No duplicate onboarding – your familiar contact remains in place
  • Synergies between the GDPR and AI Act review
  • Predictable expansion of your ongoing consulting budget

Model 3

AI Act-Only Review Mandate

Is your data protection already covered elsewhere? We then focus exclusively on the AI Act compliance of your systems.

  • Focused review without a full data protection mandate
  • Classification, role identification, obligations catalogue
  • Coordination with your existing Data Protection Officer possible
  • Suitable as a precursor to an ongoing AI Officer engagement

 

What the Assessment Covers in Detail

AI Act Dimension

  • Review for prohibited practices (Art. 5 AI Act)
  • Classification as high-risk, transparency-obligated or minimal-risk system (Art. 6, Annex III)
  • Role identification along the AI value chain (Art. 2(1) AI Act)
  • Obligations catalogue: documentation, registration, conformity assessment

GDPR Dimension

  • Review of the legal basis for data processing by the AI system
  • Inclusion in the records of processing activities (Art. 30 GDPR)
  • Assessment of data processing agreements with AI providers
  • Determination of whether a data protection impact assessment is required (Art. 35 GDPR)
